A NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a digital art that represents both real-world and digital objects such as art, music, in-game items and videos. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrencies, and they are generally transferred.

An unit of data that is stored on a digital account (blockchain) and certifies a digital asset—including an audio file, image, or video—as unique and not exchangeable. It serves as a proof of ownership even for a digital item that is easily copied and distributed. NFTs can therefore be traded and sold like other assets, and, with the provenance permanently recorded in the blockchain, the risk of fakes is largely eliminated.

With the ever-increasing developments in technology, art and artists have much space to adapt their work and rely on new and valuable technologies to provide solutions. Due to the prevalence of physical artworks in our world, digital creations (also known as NFT artworks) by artists have long been undervalued and often not considered, in part due to being so freely available everywhere.

Also, while any piece of digital art can be recorded, photographed, or redrawn, NFTs hold a record that the specific artwork is original (and the only one of its kind), making them more valuable and collectible. NFT art can take any form, including photographs, 2D images, 3D models, audio files, or even video footage.

The non-fungible token phase of the 21st century gives a new meaning and purpose to NFT artwork and its artists, and the huge costs of these works online suggest that the digital works produced by artists of our day and age have a future in the art world as we know it.
